Monday Again?

What is it with this day of the week? It should be as any other day but most of the time Mondays are the hard day of the week. This morning on our walk, Heidi, mom's German Shepherd started a fight with Honey, Jesse's Golden Retriever. We actually had to pull them apart and even then they kept going at it. Heidi and Honey have played together for at least a year, what changed we do not know but from now on we will need to walk apart. I was trying to give Mark a haircut but the clippers would no longer hold a charge, we may need new ones but I got the job done, just not very well. Went to sweep up the cut hair, when I grabbed the broom it knocked a picture off the wall and broke the frame in 5 places. Not that the picture was anything special, it was just covering up the hole the where the intercom used to be. I have no other pictures that size so now I just have a big hole in the wall. We checked out Dave Hoerr's work on the dam and it is really good. He didn't even wreck the hay field. His bill came to $1200.00 and we are so thankful the job is done. Once the walk was over Izadora was put out and grained along with Jenis and Raven. Lily was checked and her belly without the band has dropped down again. I wish there was a better way, Lily's back is so sore she flinches if it is touched. Izadora's stall was cleaned and it really wasn't too bad for being in for 3 days and nights. She is still not bagged up enough to warrant keeping her inside during good weather. The farmer showed up just as I was leaving so we discussed the hay field. The field was cut last Monday and it has been raining until yesterday. Gary Unsicker is going to rake it today and we will see if it is dry enough to bale this evening as more rain is expected. If it is put up dry enough and the horses eat it we will probably just feed it out right away and keep our good bales for later. I was out visiting with Amy Koch when a lady showed up wanting to know if we would take in their 8 year old quarter horse gelding, he needs work and they don't want to winter him. We are not interested. Amy came in for breakfast once the Bridlewood stalls were done and told me about her Jane Bartel clinic. Jane feels Amy will be showing first level by next spring. I started laundry after breakfast and got 2 loads done before Mark showed up for lunch.
